The coalition is currently weighing its options ahead of the Melaka state election, with all possibilities still on the table. Amirudin said PH remains open to cooperation with Barisan Nasional (BN) as well, but the party's immediate priority is securing electoral success. The first consideration in any electoral cooperation should be political stability, which is essential for economic recovery and addressing the needs of the people, including housing policies. While negotiations are taking place with various parties, Amirudin emphasized that the door to discussions remains open and that they are exploring whether all parties can find common ground on policy.",
